Brenda Chapman started her career as a story artist at Walt Disney Feature Animation in 1987, where she worked on her favorite fairytales: The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. She also worked on a few other non-fairytales and was the story supervisor on the original The Lion King for which she won an Annie. Chapman then helped launch DreamWorks Animation Studios, where she co-directed The Prince of Egypt. In 2003, Chapman joined Pixar Animation Studios where she created, wrote and directed Brave – inspired by her relationship with her daughter - and won an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe.
